[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

It took Jane two days to choose a light gray-blue men's silk scarf, which was made of silk, but because it was plain, the price was within Jane's acceptable range.

This color is very low-key, but it is quite versatile for daily use. It goes well with royal blue, earthy yellow, pink orange, beige and other colors.Jane drew a few pictures, and finally chose the six-petal snowflake pattern, which is relatively simple and small, and only needs to embroider the ends of the silk scarf, which is fast.

While busy with Hogwarts affairs, she found time to embroider the silk scarf. After the embroidery was finished, Jane sent the gift and the letter together, and Mycroft should receive it around Valentine's Day.

Jane still uses the name "Mr. Watson" to communicate with Mycroft. Think about what if someone finds out that another gentleman sent Mycroft a Valentine's Day gift, or a silk scarf... Hehe, it won't be like this Unlucky.

Jane's unkind self-comfort ╮(╯▽╰)╭

After sending the gift, Jane has been wondering how Mycroft will react, will she feel that she is not reserved?Still happy?Or feel that although she is happy, the gift is not very useful... Although she has lived two lifetimes, Jane, who was a single mother and fetus in both lifetimes, has no idea what a person in love should do. _(:з)∠)_

I thought a lot, but Jane was always stable, and no one noticed.On the day of True Valentine's Day, Jane still felt a little self-defeating, and she should have received it anyway, right?Well, forget about it.

(*￣ω￣)

Valentine's Day really drives sales. Just when Jane was happy, she suddenly met two unexpected people.

Hogwarts sales are good even long after Valentine's Day, as successive events drive popularity.There are too many people, and there will be fewer activities for Jane to sit outside the store in the afternoon... You can't occupy the seat, it's all money~

In fact, the truth is that the weather is not warm yet, and it rains frequently, so it is really freezing to sit outside. (~￣▽￣)～

But today is an exception, the weather is good today, the sun in the morning lasted until noon, and it is easy to let Ben close the door for a while... Originally they should close the door for lunch at this time and make some snacks or take a lunch break.But Jane is the boss, she calls the shots.

Jane just wanted to sneak back to be lazy, she was too comfortable sitting outside in the sun and didn't want to move.Jane was doing a crossword puzzle in today's newspaper with a pencil, and it reminded her that Sherlock hadn't seen her for a week, when a four-wheeled carriage came stomping across the road, and then in the store The door stopped.

Jane looked up. It wasn't a standard carriage, it should be a private carriage. Looking at the wheels, it was custom-made, which is a bit rare.A thought flashed in Jane's mind, if it was Sherlock, she should be able to see more, and then she was embarrassed by this thought again.

Is Sherlock Holmes who doesn't want to be a detective still Sherlock Holmes?

Two people quickly got out of the car, two young men with curly hair.

The black-haired young man was straight and upright, with a steady demeanor and delicate features, but there was a hint of gloom and unconscious dislike in his brows. Compared with him, the blond-haired man was equally dignified, but he seemed gentle and lively compared with his companions. ...he almost jumped out of the carriage.

Hey, the same small curly hair, why is there such a big difference?

Both of them were wearing clothes and shoes that were almost labeled "I'm expensive", especially the one with black hair, he was not a student at first glance.Standing at the door of Hogwarts, he couldn't help covering his nose with his gloved hand, and then put it down quickly.From the expression, he didn't like the smell of sweets very much, which made Jane a little curious.

"It's here." The blond young man looked up at the store name, "Hogwarts, what a nice name." He took a deep breath intoxicated, and then happily said to the black-haired young man: "I have never It's a loss to have been here, I heard that the desserts here are really good. Hurry up Darcy, I..." The blond young man suddenly saw Jane, who was looking at them, and then... the blond young man suddenly blushed .

simple:"……"

Jane lowered her head, feeling strange, the name "Darcy" was really familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but if she met such a young man, she would definitely not forget it.

Darcy obviously noticed his companion's impoliteness, he lowered his eyes, glanced at Jane slightly, quickly pulled his companion into the store, and said: "Okay, let's hurry up, didn't you say that your sister Is it rare to come back from the girls' school?"

As soon as Jane heard about the "girls' school", she immediately forgot what happened just now. She suddenly remembered that she once had the idea of ​​sending her sisters to a girls' school, but at that time, because her family had no money, she could only Get rid of that thought.But it's different now, she has money!

Jane thought, if Daddy didn't mind her paying back the money later, of course he wouldn't mind, then she would have a sum of money on hand to pay for the tuition.

In fact, there is a college for girls in Cambridge. Jane mentioned this in a letter from home before, but Jane has always regarded it as a university. She thinks that Elizabeth and the others should go to a school like a junior high school, so she didn’t think of it before. stand up.But thinking about it now, since there is a women's college in Cambridge, it shouldn't be hard to find a women's high school.

Elizabeth and the others don't need to go to the kind of bridal school specially set up for rich ladies, so the tuition fee of one hundred pounds a year should be enough for one person.

We can let Elizabeth go first. After the New Year, she will be 15 years old, and she will be in school for at most two or three years, and Mary will be similar. They know exactly what they need to learn.The problem is Catherine and Lydia, they are still young, it is impossible for them to stay in a girls' school for a few years from now, it is too unrealistic, if two older girls go to school, then the two younger ones Let the family be disciplined by Mommy... It's not that Jane doesn't trust Mrs. Bennet, it's just that she doesn't feel at ease when she thinks of the original book.

Jane couldn't do anything for a while, so she decided to go back and ask Mrs. Wood for advice.

At this time, the two gentlemen came out with big bags and small bags. The blond young man stammered and said, "Darcy, I think we can have a cup of coffee before we go. Anyway..." He kept rolling his eyes from time to time as he spoke. Jane's direction.

"No, you don't want to." The black-haired Mr. Darcy is very aware of his friend's urine, "Miss Bingley is looking forward to you, how can you waste time on the road?" He decisively pulled Bingley up carriage.

Jane noticed that many of the two men bought exquisitely packaged and expensive snacks. She was so happy that she couldn't help showing a smile, thinking that she could ask Ben if there were any in stock later. Maybe in the afternoon she will make another batch before going back.

But what Jane didn't notice was that the blond curly Mr. Bingley accidentally saw her smile before getting into the carriage, and his face burst into red.But his friend Mr. Darcy with curly hair and black hair looked back and saw the lady sitting at the door put away the newspapers on the table and was ringing the bell to call the waiter in the shop.

Mr. Darcy frowned, and let it go quickly.

Jane was very happy to learn that the two gentlemen bought all the packaged biscuits and candies in the store, and also bought a lot of loose candies, but they didn't buy bulk snacks because it was inconvenient to carry.

This gave Jane a new idea. Previously, she targeted the nearby residents and students of Cambridge University, so most of the snacks were packaged in soft cartons that could be assembled on site, especially the "surprise snacks", which could almost only be Eat it at the store.Maybe she should try a more portable package, so the customer base might expand a bit.

Both Jane and Anna were busy in the afternoon, and Jane was slowly cultivating Anna's skills. She herself could not stay in the Hogwarts kitchen forever, so it was necessary to train another pastry chef.

It wasn't until after going back at night that Jane realized, Darcy?Isn't this the hero of "Pride and Prejudice"?And Bentley, this is your official Xipi, right?

Jane felt very embarrassed, such a chance encounter, such a shame... If she had known, she would have prepared more goods. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Jane thought about it for a while, and found that she didn't have much impression of the looks of these two people. She only remembered that they both had curly hair, they were dressed in very high-end clothes, and they bought a lot of money.

Jane has no special thoughts about these two wealthy sons-in-law in the eyes of Mrs. Bennet. Even if Elizabeth ends up with Darcy as in the original book, she will not marry Bentley.

Jane thought maliciously, aside from the money factor, apart from a few more talents, what is there that Miss Bingley who admires Darcy is better than them?And her older sister, who took her husband back to her mother's house and stayed there for several months, how much better than the poor relatives of the Bennet family?Oh, I'm sorry, to be precise, there is no relative in the Bennet family who is so poor that he takes his husband to his younger brother's house to play the autumn breeze.

(￣_, ￣)

Thinking about these things might as well think about the girls' school. Jane put aside what happened to her today, and then asked Mrs. Wood about the girls' school.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to go to a girls' school?" Mrs. Wood frowned and said, "Usually the age for entering a girls' school is ten years old, and you have almost graduated at your age."

ah?Jane didn't expect this, but after thinking about it carefully, a ten-year-old girl who has been studying for five or six years is not bad in this era. After getting used to it for two or three years and expanding her circle of friends, she is about to enter the social world for blind dates... ...and that's true.

But Elizabeth was only one year younger than Jane, which was not easy to deal with.

"Based on your current knowledge, I don't think it is necessary to go to any girls' school...or do you think what you learn at my old woman's place is not as good as school?" Mrs. Wood complained reservedly.

Only then did Jane realize that Mrs. Wood had misunderstood, and she said dumbfoundedly: "My dear Mrs. Olivia, you have misunderstood me. When did I say that your knowledge is not as good as others? It's a pity that such kindness cannot be compared with My sisters share."

Jane told Mrs. Wood her thoughts, and Mrs. Wood was very surprised.

"You mean you want to secretly support your younger sisters to study? It's not your responsibility, Jane, it's your father's. And even if you do, your younger sisters may not be grateful to you." Mrs. Wood advised Jane, " You have...four younger sisters, right? Can you afford them all? If not, who are you going to let go?"

This is also where Jane is in trouble.

"Elizabeth and Mary are okay. They are both fifteen or sixteen years old. They have the willingness to learn. I hope they will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge when they are still young." Jane said while thinking, "Catherine and Lydia They are still young, but I hope they can learn more, so that no matter what happens to them in the future, they at least know how to live their lives."

Although some of Jane's words were not expressive, Mrs. Wood understood Jane's meaning perfectly.It was precisely because she understood that Mrs. Wood was so surprised. She felt as if she knew Miss Jane Bennet again.

The author has something to say: Jane: Why do most British men have curly hair when they are young, but they become bald after middle age?
